Boating World Feature from Wealth Ladder Magazine.com

When you hit the perfect conditions at sea with the right crew and the right yacht, nothing comes even close to the experience. It is a whole summer wrapped in one perfect day. For the successful entrepreneur, nothing spells “I have arrived” as does a sparkling new yacht, and now you can buy into one with a few friends.

Boating World, with offices in Cape Town and Durban, exclusively represents many of the world’s very top yachting brands in South Africa. On the power boating side, the award-winning British Fairline brand has become a household name among well-off locals, and currently, one of the most exciting new yachts in Cape waters is the Fairline Targe 48 Open. It is often spotted lying off Clifton on a perfect summer’s day. The Targa typifies comfort, style and luxury detailing. It offers the very best when you want luxury out at sea. Or if you want to impress your friends or new business associates.

Yet, the busy entrepreneur hardly has the opportunity to spend every weekend on the water, unless it is for deal-making. So, owning a massive luxury yacht all by yourself, and having to manage its ongoing operations seem out of the question. For this reason, Boating World has come up with an innovative way to become a Fairline Targa 48 Open owner through a share-ownership scheme. You can own one-quarter of the yacht at a very reasonable R2 562 250 +VAT, including a three-year warranty. This beauty has a steel blue hull with stunning selected interior colours with leather seating. Teak laid cockpit floor and side decks round out the luxury feel. It is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen.

Sleeping between 4-7 people, this luxurious yacht is air-conditioned throughout. A full-time captain and crew look after your guests and you kick back in a lounge area that feels like you are in the penthouse suite of a seven-star hotel. In fact, skip the hotel during your next visit and sleep over in your yacht. Apart from your master stateroom, you can host a further 4 guests overnight.

When out for the day, a simple touch button retracts the sliding cockpit roof. Other activity features include the powered hydraulic swim platform, a sunbed on the bow and a 100hp Williams Jet RIB 285 with its own garage – great to quickly zip over to a trendy beach club or neighbouring yachts. Need some new Jimmy Choos for tonight’s function? Send the captain with the Williams to drop you off at the V&A shopping precinct and watch everyone’s awe at your cool lifestyle.

Tonight, long after the glitz of the evening is over and the lights are settling over the city and water, lounge sofas convert to beds for night caps and mood lighting in the interior and exterior and underwater lights sets the romantic scene. So ends the perfect day.
